NYT News Service
Donald Trump could land in a major fix now after Iranian hackers breached into secure servers and stole multiple documents that included some of the former President's most embarrassing secrets. This is like a complete onslaught by Iranian hackers on Donald Trump, that is going on for more than 10 days now, with more and more documents starting to get compromised each passing day. The Republican Presidential candidate is now furious at this sudden attack on him and has lashed out in anger.

Is this a 'sweet revenge'?

Meanwhile, Donald Trump lashing out in anger upon his files being compromised is somehow a hypocritical stance, looking at the fact that he practically celebrated when Hillary Clinton' files were compromised by Russian hackers eight years ago. Clinton was the Democrat candidate, when Trump ran for the first time in the US elections, and during the campaign, he had even called, or to be accurate, begged for Russians to hack into Clinton's files, which they eventually did.

Meanwhile, analysts and people who have monitored Trump very closely, are not at all surprised that Trump has completely reversed from the stance he had taken during Clinton's crisis. According to University of Pennsylvania professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson, it is completely not a surprise that Trump is maintaining the lines of being 'electorally convenient', according to an AP report.

He had gone as far as claiming to 'love WikiLeaks', after these documents of Hillary Clinton were stolen by the Russians but when the shoe is on the other foot, he does not seem to be taking things so lightly.
